ANOTHER VENT
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- again!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, another 24hrs have gone by and I have still not spoken to the social worker. My anxiety (fuelled by anger) rose as the day progressed so much. I left several messages on her phone and even called into the CPS office 2x. I did get my message to her supervisor returned, just as I parked outside their building. I let her know where I was, but she said that my social worker was on her way out so could not see me, that she had a whole lot of hand-written reports to do within the hour(?!), and did I want to make an appt for tomorrow. 1st I stated that I wanted to see the SW, then I exploded I was so mad and said all sorts of stuff I regret!! I did tell her tho that my SW had said several times that she would get back to me (msgs passed on by 3rd persons)...which she hasn't yet... and that I had been waiting since 8.30am. I was questioned about that- she didn't believe that I had been given times or anything- and then I let rip. I couldn't stand talking to her and said I would just let my lawyer deal with the whole shocking mess. Drove all the way home and managed to stay on the road despite all the tears blurring my vision... That was a bit of a rude shock to myself- it is my ex who uses the catch phrase 'my lawyer will deal with this' in nearly every sentence. Speaking of ex's, he's mucked up bad again. The chn's ward at the hospital and the caregivers had made an arrangement for getting no1's suction pump fixed (something wrong with the battery). When all necessary spare parts and equipment were available the pump would be swapped with a foot-operated one for a couple of hours while the other one was being fixed. But nooooooo, ex had to do it his way and the batt-op pump was exchanged for the foot pump on Tuesday with no word as to when the batt one will be returned. The caregivers are struggling tremendously as the foot pump is not nearly powerful enough for no1. I wanted to bring that up with SW too, but of course we come back to the original prob of her not getting in touch with me. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr... I am so mad.
